| - The latest addition to the Leemo Han legacy. Had it not been for the number of recent posts on social media, I would not have known about this place. And similarly to Hanmoto, if you are walking down the street, it is easy to pass by this place, not thinking there's a restaurant within this house. Considering my positive experiences at OddSeoul and Hanmoto, I had to check this place out.
We went on a Thursday around 6:30 PM, and had several options for seating. It got busier throughout our meal, and by the time we left, there was a bit of a wait to get seated. We started with Foco Loco's which contains different liquors and herbs depending on which Loco flavour you get. I got the mango, which was muddled with mint and made with rum.
We ended up splitting 5 dishes, though 4 would've been sufficient because by the fifth dish, we started to slow down. In order from least favouite to most favourite:
- Marrow Beef ($15): shaved beef rolls atop of bone marrow; a bit messy to eat
- Banh Xeo Broccoli ($7): think broccoli tempura
- Pho Beef Dip-You-Dip-I-Dip ($10): beef baguette with a pho broth to dip
- Luk-Lac Beef Short Ribs ($18): sweet short ribs, prepared on the grill outside
- Tiger's Milk Ceviche ($12): a coconut creamy mix of seafood, tasting a bit like Tom Yum
Overall, an interesting take on Vietnamese food, and everything we got was, for the most part, pretty damn good!
